Gameplay

A single player adventure/arcade game with some RPG elements developed with Unity3D, Polandball: Can into space puts players in control of Poland’s country ball on its quest to be one among the many countries that have made it to the moon. With an upgradable rocket at their disposal that starts off as nothing more than junk, players are tasked to upgrade the ship using money they pick up on the route to their destination.
